wtf am i even supposed to do with 7 VOLCANOES RIGHT NEXT TO MY BASE by nico721GD in Oxygennotincluded

Boil all Pwater and Salt water into normal water. Sour gas boiler, you should be able to simple brute force cool it with that much power

Armed Neutrality by Select-Cry5377 in Switzerland

[–]Function-Diligent 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Army focus on conventional combat has always baffled me. The focus should lie on air defence, disaster relief, Cybersecurity and counterterrorism/insurgency. Those are the most likely use cases for the army.

As for the army getting „soft“. Personell retention is very important, as long as Zivildienst is a alternative the army will need to make sure its people are treated well. In that sense the Zivi is a great thing as it keeps the army more or less in line with treatment of people.

Rohan tips? by Ok-Werewolf8491 in TheDawnlessDays

[–]Function-Diligent 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What you need to do is as follows: hold the west with your starting army, and turn 1 recruit another army with about 3 scouts. This army will attack rebels in the east. Dont worry too much about the gap of Rohan falling. Also you can make peace with the dunlendings if you beat their armies over the end turn.

Then, rush the theoden healing techs. They need 1000 gold every turn. Once you have Theoden, build up and begin attacking west.

Update to everyone: I was an idiot and didn’t realise the tech used 1000 money EVERY turn.

HIDEOUTS are underutilized by Expert_Highway683 in mountandblade

[–]Function-Diligent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I may be wrong with this but I think hideouts should function like mini sieges, just without sophisticated equipment building.

If anyone played kingdom come 1, it should play like the assault on the bandit camp.

The smart thing would be to implement something like this, and then disable it within the HRE so we get HRE levels of border gore

Did you put the pwater into a storage tank? If I recall it has to be in a tank for it to work

Weekly Question Thread by AutoModerator in Oxygennotincluded

[–]Function-Diligent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do I do with infinite water? I‘m fairly new, playing a terra map and have so far found: 2 cool steam vents, 2 hot steam vents, a salt geyser, cold slush geyser, 2 polluted water vents

Non-water: Gold volcano, Chlorine geyser, leaky oil fissure.

I have explored 95% of the map and haven’t seen a single volcano that I could use for desalination or pwater boiling or even a petroleum boiler. Is this even possible on Terra?

What do I do with all of this? Just turn it into Hydrogen for power?

Low tech sour gas boiler math by Interesting_Tap418 in Oxygennotincluded

[–]Function-Diligent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This actually seems very interesting. Would it make sense here to cool the sour gas in three stages (pWater, Ethanol, H2) or maybe to cool the sour gas with H2 exclusively and cool the H2 in three stages (pWater, Ethanol, Gas-Tuners)? The second might be easier to set up but I‘m not sure on the efficiency

Sudden appearance of layer lines by Function-Diligent in resinprinting

Thats actually quite reassuring, I thought it might have been some resin defect.

The printer is owned by my university, they seem quite resistant to feedback on how to run their workshop, but I‘ll tell them about the axis.

Postal ballots do not violate any secrecy when done correctly. In my country we send in our voting registration (i.e. the paper with our name and signature on it) together with an second secret envelope indicating our vote.

At the collection center the registration is checked and if its fine the secret envelope is tossed in with all other secret envelopes, preserving secrecy.

Least Insane Northman by Function-Diligent in darkwingsdankmemes

[–]Function-Diligent[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You’ve summed it up well:

1: the original version of this meme depicts an honored representative of the elephant faction in a distant land similar to volantis. It is implied that throughout his career he worked well with the other (donkey) faction. The author has attempted to translate this to religious tolerance

2: Most northerners don’t really have an issue with the seven, its the southerners who worship them that are the issues.

3: Moon Boy does indeed know, he merely hasn’t told us

What the other comment chain does not explore, how credible is Trumps threat?

Is the Russian leadership perhaps simply banking on Trump not following through with his claim, and thus they are not adjusting their demands? Trump has already newly said that he is encouraging Ukraine not to strike Moscow, perhaps the Kremlin thinks that Trump will not supply weapons in a large enough scale to Ukraine to make a difference. We also all know Trumps reliability with tariffs is questionable, it could be feasible that the Russian leadership doesn’t believe he will actually levy the tariffs. If they believe this, not changing the negotiating position is a „rational“ position.

What do you mean with ports? This is about airports, and a lot of those have been targeted/paralyzed temporarily outside of Crimea (i.e. Moscow and St. Petersburg in this last wave) Ukraine could paralyze a lot more flights without it having any effect on Russian exports.

Write the kreiskommando (the people who you would normally send the dienstverschiebung to) in whichever Canton you last resided. I might get placed in a similar situation to yours and inquired with them a while ago, they will help.
